An obstetrical assistive device is provided for facilitating “pushing” during childbirth. The device comprises a pair of handlebar assemblies conjoined in the center by a ring. The handlebars may be constructed of durable material such as plastic or rubber and may have a soft, high-friction material covering the gripping area. The center ring may be constructed of any high tension bearing material like rope, rubber or metal. A patient may use the device by herself or in conjunction with another person. To use the device with another person, the patient and other user grasp opposing ends of the device and exert retractive force. Alternatively, the device may be secured to a support bar by its center ring so that a patient may pull on a handlebar without having another user grasping the opposing handlebar.
